You know how the #1 problem with air guitaring is the lack of sound it creates? You can hear the genius shredding going on in your head, but no one else can. That’s all about to change thanks to the brilliant scientific minds behind a new air-strum translating T-shirt. The shirt, which was developed by engineers from the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, uses information collected by motion sensors in the shirt’s elbows and relays them via wireless connection to a mother computer that translates them into sound. Neat, right?
K, here’s where it gets creepy. Apparently this technology could one day be used to “reproduce a person in the virtual world.” We’re not really getting what that means but we like anything that involves us one day being somewhere without actually having to be there.
